Fetch CircleCI pipeline configuration when requested
When another system or process sends a webhook, ask Notis to retrieve the configuration for the CircleCI pipeline ID provided.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Pipeline Config
Tool to fetch pipeline configuration by id. use when you need the source or compiled yaml of a specific pipeline.
Why this helps
Finding the configuration behind a pipeline can interrupt a review when you have to jump into CircleCI and locate it manually.
- Start a configuration lookup through an HTTP request.
- Retrieve source or compiled YAML for a specific pipeline.
- Keep the lookup instruction and run report in one Notis automation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, describe that the incoming request should lead to retrieving configuration for its specific CircleCI pipeline ID.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real webhook request containing a valid pipeline ID and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
What information does the request need?
The action retrieves configuration for a specific pipeline, so the request context must provide its pipeline ID. Tell Notis how to handle a request without one.
Can this trigger a build?
This workflow retrieves pipeline configuration. Triggering a build uses a different CircleCI action.
